Will travel affect Ohio State as it visits Oregon?

The most anticipated matchup of college football’s Week 7 slate is No. 2 Ohio State at No. 3 Oregon.

The primetime Big Ten matchup feels like the start of a new conference rivalry, given the programs’ shared past.

In 10 total meetings, Ohio State has won nine times — four of which were part of national championship seasons for the Buckeyes (1957, 1961, 1968 and 2014).

However, the Ducks took the most recent bout in 2021, a 35-28 thrilling upset in Columbus.
